I agree with you, and with the points in the article. But I have a nitpick, a pet peeve, if you will.
“The first colony of English-speaking Europeans was Jamestown…”
Um, no. The first colony of English-speaking Europeans was at Roanoke.
OK, so maybe they meant “The first permanent colony of English-speaking Europeans…” Well, alrighty, then. Let’s go to Jamestown, I want to visit the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce, eat in some Jamestown restaurants, stay in a hotel in Jamestown. What’s that, you say? I can’t do those things? Well, whyever not? Oh, it’s not actually there anymore?
Yeah, I’ve got a burr up my butt about the way everyone calls Jamestown the first “permanent” English settlement in the US, completely dismissing Roanoke and not taking into account that the one is no more permanent than the other, really.
But anyway.
Good article, excellent points.
